I need to know if there even is an adequate statistical test, other than using descriptives for this situation:
We asked people to order their number 1, 2, 3 choices from a list of 10 options. So 7 options were essentially all tied at 0. So this would be ranked and ordinal data to the best of my understanding. I wonder if we should have made them rank all 10? But we really weren't interested in anything less than the top three. We'd like to see whether there is a systematic, not attributable to chance way to characterize the choices that people made. Any ideas? I have been directed to a website that offers what seem to me to be partial solutions but I'd like to see if any of you have any other suggestions that are not biased by the other suggestion. Thanks!
